  • Short # 61 - Happy 25th Birthday Fight Club
    Oct 27 2024

    Wherein Justice and Andy punch their way into the celebration of Fight Club's 25th anniversary. Can you believe it's already that old? For us, where Fight Club is part of our history, this anniversary marks a reevaluation of the film and its personal and cultural impacts. What did we use to love about it? Do we still feel the same way? Hint: we do not. It isn't about the message behind it; its about our evolving ideas as we age. (And maybe a bit of the message behind it). Do we need Fight Club at age 40 or 50? Or do we just need parts of it? Or none of it at all?

  • Short # 60 - Shatner on Kirk's Death
    Sep 30 2024

    Wherein Andy and Justice exhume Captain Kirk because of William Shatner's recently proclaimed dissatisfaction with the legendary figure's death. We revisit that scene in Star Trek: Generations and discuss whether or not his opinion holds up. Would Kirk have appeared in NuTrek if he had not died? Would we have even wanted that? Was this an apporpriate end for him and a way to effectively pass the torch to Picard?

  • Short # 59 - Alien: Romulus Review
    Sep 13 2024

    Wherein Justice and Andy run screaming from the theater to produce this review of the newest entry in the Aliens franchise, Alien: Romulus. Fede Alvarez daringly returns to the original films' timeline and style, setting it between the first and second films. What do we see in this new entry that distinguishes it from the others? Where does this film hit, and where does it miss? What did you think of the Ian Holmes digital recreation as Rook? (we did not care for it). As a mostly impressive film, we discuss the possible implications for the future of the franchise.
